<p>This is a general chance post. I am 16 now and a junior. I will put "potential" next to things that are likely b/c of my work and the other stuff has happened. I would like to know what are my chances for getting into Emory and then furthermore getting a 70%-full merit scholarship to Emory University. (I am asking this under the assumption that if I do get a full merit scholarship or close to it, I'll only have to pay for room and board. Please tell me if the Emory Scholars program works in a different way.)</p>
